Lyrics

Where has that old

friend

gone,

lost in a Feb ru ar y song?

Tell him it won’t

be

long till he o pens his eyes,

o pens his eyes.

Where is that sim

ple

day, be fore col ors broke

in to shades?

And how did I ev

er

fade

in to this life,

in to this life?

And I nev er want

to let

you

down.

For give me if I

slip a way.

When all that I’ve known

is lost

and

found,

I prom ise you, I

I’ll come back

to

you

one

day.

Where has that old

friend

gone,

lost in a Feb ru ar y song?

Tell him it won’t

be

long till he o pens his eyes,

o pens his eyes.
